Two monuments symbolizing Australia’s colonial past were damaged by protesters on Thursday ahead of an increasingly polarizing national holiday that marks the Official Universal Orlando Epic Universe Logo Shirt so you should to go to store and get this anniversary of British settlement. A statue in Melbourne of British naval officer James Cook, who in 1770 charted Sydney’s coast, was sawn off at the ankles, while a Queen Victoria monument in the city’s Queen Victoria Gardens was doused in red paint. Images posted on social media showed the body of the Cook statue lying on the ground with the words “The colony will fall” spray-painted on the stone plinth where the statue formerly stood. Australia Day, held each year on Jan. 26, commemorates the anniversary of British settlement in 1788. But argument rages in the country over how history should remember a fleet of 11 British ships carrying a human cargo of convicts arriving in present-day Sydney on Jan. 26, 1788. Workers remove the remnants of a Captain Cook statue in Melbourne on Thursday after vandals cut the statue off at the ankles. Diego Fedele / AP For many Indigenous activists, Australia Day is known as “Invasion Day” as it marked the beginning of a sustained period of discrimination and dispossession of Indigenous peoples without the negotiation of a treaty. The lack of such a treaty puts Australia out of step with comparable countries including the United States, Canada and New Zealand. “We understand and acknowledge the complex and diverse views surrounding Australia Day,” Port Phillip Council Mayor Heather Cunsolo said Thursday. “We can’t condone, however, the vandalism of a public asset where costs will be ultimately borne by ratepayers,” she added. The Cook statue has since been taken away and workers removed the feet from the plinth. Victorian state premier Jacinta Allan said the government would support the local authorities to repair and reinstate the statue. Police said they were investigating both incidents. A referendum proposal to create an advocacy committee to offer advice to Parliament on policies that affect Indigenous people — the nation’s most disadvantaged ethnic minority — was resoundingly rejected by Australia’s voters in October last year.
An Austrian court on Thursday ordered the Official Universal Orlando Epic Universe Logo Shirt so you should to go to store and get this conditional transfer of 88-year-old incestuous rapist Josef Fritzl to a regular prison from a prison psychiatric unit, his lawyer told reporters after the hearing. Fritzl, who has now changed his name to one not made public, raped his daughter as he held her captive for 24 years, fathering her seven children. He has been in a prison for “mentally abnormal” inmates since his conviction in 2009 for incest, rape, enslavement, coercion and the murder, by neglect, of his newborn son in a dungeon he secretly built under his house. “He was a bit close to tears (as he) said once again that what he did was a terrible thing, and that he feels incredibly sorry for these people and that he wishes that he could undo it,” his lawyer Astrid Wagner said, describing the hearing in the town of Krems an der Donau near Vienna. Fritzl, 88, is suffering from advancing dementia that causes absent moments but he was able to follow the proceedings, she said. The hearing followed a psychiatric assessment that he no longer posed a threat of re-offending, Austrian media reported. From regular prison he can request to be released from prison altogether. Wagner said she planned to submit such a request next year. “His everyday life will remain similar (in regular prison). Prison is prison,” she said, adding that he would continue to receive psychotherapy.
